AK Learning 4 Metallics Vol 1 (English) (AK507)

Metallics are deceptively hard to get right — too flat and they look like grey paint, too bright and the model looks like a toy. AK Learning 4 is the first volume in AK Interactive's dedicated look at painting metal, covering the techniques that separate a convincing gunmetal finish from a shiny mess.

What's covered

• Building bright, believable steel and chrome finishes
• Worn edges, chipping and scratched metalwork
• Darker, used metal for engine decks, weapons and tools

Work through it and your tanks, weapons and hardware stop looking painted and start looking machined — the kind of finish that holds up under close inspection.
